  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

• surcurity essentials does not start, and the windows firewall does not illuminate

  Hello

  I have a problem, he seems to have had a virus on my pc. Essentials of security does not illuminate and the windows firewall will not also turn on, I tried to use the tool to "fix" windows and it doesn't solve the problem.

  the original virus seemed to rename its self as a program existing and renamed the oringinal by a space in the name, for example "adobearm.exe" became "adobearm .exe" there is a space before the dot.

  The virus called his free adobearm.exe icon because it is a yellow / orange with a letter H, at the Center

  different file name her seemed to be part of the virus included "ag7yl5x8.exe".

  If you tried to close them in the task manager that they just either came back or a different file name would appear in the list.

  I also couldn't do a windows update, but I think as the tool to 'fix' as cured this problem.

  Can someone help me please.

  Thank you

  PS can't do a restore either

• Windows Firewall does not illuminate

  From: nsmartinez46

   

  I just had this problem recently. When I start my computer, there is a pop up that says that the Windows Firewall is disabled. I click on the button to turn it on and then appears a screen that says "Security Center may depend on Windows Firewall." I then click "Activate Windows Firewall manually." Then he said that he does not use recommended settings to help protect my computer. I click "update settings now" but then he said he was unable to make the requested updates.

  I'm using Windows Vista and I have had my computer for a year now. It happened the other day and I installed as my Symantec anti-virus program.

  How can I activate Windows Firewall again?

  De :  Engel

  You can try this:

  Right click on command prompt (start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose Run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste) the following command:

  WinMgmt /verifyrepository

  If the system returns "referential WMI is not consistent", type this command:

  WinMgmt /salvagerepository

  The first time you run this operation fails. (It will be matter of commands to stop services causing his failure, saying: "a shutdown command was sent to a service that depend on other services running on"). It may take a few minutes for the services to stop. Rerun the last command. You may in fact need to run 3 times before finally runs and ends on its own.

  Hello

  Thanks for the post.

  Disconnect any attached external devices.

  If you use a third-party antivirus disable and then install updates and check.

  Temporarily turn off the firewall and antivirus software and try to install the updates.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-Vista

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If this does not help, then I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and then install. Start your computer in a clean boot state, you can reduce conflicts between software and help identify the root cause of the problem. You can read this article for more information:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: after the resolution of the problem, reset the computer to start as usual. Refer to the step How to configure the computer to start as usual after a boot minimum troubleshooting under more information.

  Try this and let us know the results.

• Windows Vista (64-bit) does not start.

  Last night, I installed the new McAfee antivirus due to having a virus that prevented the windows firewall to allow me to surf the net via my router (usually would work when directly connected to the modem). The antivirus has worked very well and I was able to access the internet very well. The rest of the evening consisted of me Star Trek Online patch and play a little of it and there was still no problem.

• Tecra M5: Impossible to duplicate on two screens, with windows vista nvidia driver does not work

  I have installed windows vista 32-bit, the bios updated and all the drivers from the official Web site of toshiba, if I put a second screen resolution of my lcd screen to 1024 X 800, but in the external screen does not receive a signal.
  If I start the tecra with the connected external escreen account signal in this area, no signal on the lcd screen.

  Please help me think this laptop is for my boss
  Thank you

  Hello

  AFAIK the Tecra M5 came with the graphics card Intel or nVidia.

  On laptops with nVidia graphics card, you can set a different option in nVidia Desktop Manager. for example allow several computers to office
  You should find it in the control panel.

  Unfortunately, I put t know exactly where the parameters are placed in the nVidia Manager because this notebook was shipped only with Windows XP but I'm sure that you will find.

  Good bye

• Update for Windows Vista (32-bit) does not always update

  I saw the many threads on this topic; many recommend that you manually download updates, but none give instructions on how to download manually.

  If I try to download something from Microsoft Websites, I get an error saying that the I do not have a program that will open the download and does not suggest which will download programs or install updates.

  Is there anyone who knows the same question.  I'm at the point where I'm done.  I spent too many unproductive hours on it, and Microsoft does not seem to care enough to post a fix.

  Any help would be appreciated!

• Windows Vista, administrator password, does not

  I had the windows administrator password since I bought my laptop about a week, there is the password no longer works, (no one has changed the password). Finger printer reader, my impression, finger reads me the green check mark, and then displays the incorrect user name or password. Dell has no help nor Microsoft, called the two, both passes the question to the other. I have many family photos and some documents I want to turn off my computer, I can't get them because of the password, I bought a case that Dell said to do, it does not fit my hard drive. Can someone tell me how to bypass my password so that I can get at my photos or what I can do to at least get my photos in the admin account that is displayed in my full name. I tried to type in the command prompt, and nothing works, please any help, I would be so grateful... Dell and Microsoft told me, there's a way to get around, but they cannot help doing it on my own computer.

  Hello

  Donna I don't know how the fingerprint reader interacts with the opening of session if it is an assumption. This method
  works on systems without the reader of fingerprints and perhaps on your system when used in conjunction with
  your fingerprint reader. Hope it's useful.

  If this is not enough you are no worse off as you are now.

  Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
  then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
  Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
  wish.

  Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
  repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

  DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

• Windows Vista Home Premium does not start after mother, CPU and RAM upgrade card

  I recently updated my PC Windows Vista Home Premium. I changed the motherboard, CPU, RAM and video card. When I booted the machine, it has not started Windows. Windows tried to recover, but could not. Is it possible to get this machine to start without doing a new install? The new facility will lose important files.

  Hello

  It's a normal reaction after replacing the hardware that you have replaced.

  The hard drive with the installed operating system contains the old motherboard drivers, etc..

  They must be replaced with the new motherboard, drivers etc.

  You will need to reinstall the operating system and then install the new drivers of motherboard (you should have a diskette of drivers for it), if the new installation does not probably them, that it will not...

  To backup your data > buy a hard drive USB enclosure > put your hard drive in it > plug it into another computer > read and copy your data from it in this way.

  See you soon.
